The federal government has offered free education for four biological children of teachers in unity colleges nationwide with effect from the 2023/2024 academic session.
This is contained in a memo signed by the minister of education, Mr. Adamu Adamu.
The document entitled ‘Revitalisation of teaching profession’ reads: “Recall that in October 2020, President Muhammadu Buhari approved the policy document for the revitalisation of the teaching profession in the country at the basic and secondary levels. There are four updates here as follows:
“The policy is now an Act of the National Assembly; the elongation of years of service has now been implemented; provision has been made in the 2022 Budget for bursary allowances for deserving students in education courses across our universities; free education for four biological children of staff in our unity colleges nationwide is with effect from the 2023/2024 academic session. Relevant departments are already working on modalities for inclusion in the 2023 Budget.”
